Ouch!
A $20 bill and a $1 bill were recovered by the Federal Reserve and wound up next to each other on the conveyor to the incinerator.

As they were lying there side by side the $1 bill said to the $20 bill, "Hey. where have you been. I haven't seen you in a long time!"

The $20 bill replied, "Man I have been having a ball! I been traveling to distant countries, going to the finest restaurants, to the biggest and best casinos, numerous boutiques, the mall uptown, the mall downtown, the mall across town and even a new mall.

"In fact, just this week I've been to Europe, a professional NBA game, Rodeo Drive, the all-day retreat spa, the top-notch hair salon and the new casino! I have done it all!!!"

After describing his great travels, the $20 bill asked the $1 bill, "What about you? Where have you been?"

The $1 replied, "Well, I've been to the Baptist church, the Methodist church, the Presbyterian church, the Episcopalian church, the Church of God in Christ, the Catholic church, the Mormon church, the church of the Latter Day Saints, the A.M.E. church, the Disciple of Christ church, the..."

"WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE!!" shouted the $20 dollar bill to the $1 bill. "What's a church?"

Update: Jim Trolinger emails: Reading the story about the $20 bill and the $1 bill on your blog today was an interesting coincidence. Earlier today I was moving money from one bank to another and one of the bills had been stamped with a rubber stamp that said “Track this note at www.wheresgeorge.com” The interesting website has tracking information for currency notes entered by users. Perhaps you could use this information to “prove” the difference your story suggests between $1 bills and $20.
